[origin: US5868889A] PCT No. PCT/DE94/01556 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 28, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 28, 1996 PCT Filed Dec. 30, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/17942 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 6, 1995A process for manufacturing a fluid filter and a device for carrying out the process in which a fluid-permeable material is pre-folded to form a first filter region including a number of fold walls arranged as substantially zig-zag shaped continuous folds having at least one folded edge portion including a plurality of folded edges. An adhesive is applied in a form of strips or threads to a substantially flat substrate material. The adhesive strips or threads on the substrate material are brought into contact with the folded edge portion in an orientation crossing the folded edges of the folded edge portion for interconnecting the fold walls and so that the substrate material essentially covers the entire folded edge portion. The adhesive is cured for bonding the strips or threads of adhesive to the folded edge portion.
